Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions sending an email and required fields. It does not specify side effects, persistence, idempotency, confirmation, or error handling, which is insufficient for a tool that performs an action.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise with three sentences that are direct and to the point. It avoids unnecessary details, but could be considered slightly under-specified given the parameter count.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description should clarify the tool's return behavior or outcome (e.g., a confirmation or error). It lacks any mention of what happens after the request is sent, leaving the agent without a complete understanding of the tool's lifecycle.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description reiterates required fields but adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. It does not explain parameter relationships or provide extra usage tips.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (sends a request), the resource (mastering quote), the recipient (MB Mastering), and the method (email). It distinctly positions the tool as a request submission tool, differentiating it from the sibling tools that fetch or retrieve information.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides a use case: 'to be used when the user wishes to be contacted.' This is helpful but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use the tool or what alternatives exist among siblings. It is minimal but adequate.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
